Is there no end to the Obama "love wave" that's been flooding the lands across the Great Pond? Good to know he's so beloved over there. They are his target audience, right? Right? I mean honestly! I found the announcement of Obama's latest accolade to be ridiculous in the extreme. Think about it. Giving Obama the Nobel Peace prize this soon into his presidency is like crowning the Dallas Cowboys National Champions at this point in their season. After all, the Cowboys have, just this year, moved into brand new digs that the whole world finds pretty impressive, they call themselves “America’s team” despite the fact that not all of America loves them (no word yet on if that makes those people racists or obstructionists), they’ve had big difficulties achieving their goals and have even suffered a couple of losses due to poor leadership and bad performance. But hey – there’s plenty of people out there that HOPE the ‘boys can CHANGE the path they’re on and pull a championship out of the hat so why not crown them now? After all, expression of HOPE and the promise of CHANGE are what really count, right? The decision by the NPP committee leads me to believe that this is the case. Can’t say I find that all that inspiring….
I used to respect the NPP committee but now, second thoughts on that one.
ReplyDeleteSort of makes the Peace Prize all about the money and little about the Peace.

And the nomination deadline was February 1! So what did he accomplish that was so spectacular in a week and a half as Prez? Absolutely NOTHING! It's all one big joke.
ReplyDeleteI am with you. The Peace Prize has lost its authencity with this laughable nomination. The only redeeming thing is that Obama seems to think it's a little over the top too.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to tell you how frightening this all is to me... it's like he's cast some spell on the public or something and I just don't get it. I've read three posts here in a row Kari and all I can reply is, AMEN. You've said it all.
ReplyDeleteGone are the days when you actually had to do something. I wonder who nominated him they do not reveal for 50 years.
